What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is active and conversational—I won’t just nod and listen. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer observations, and help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface.
I draw from evidence‑based methods like cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness-based strategies, and emotion-focused work. We’ll use whatever tools fit your goals, your pace, and your personality. Some sessions may feel structured, others more exploratory; both are purposeful.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The overall process is collaborative: you set the priorities, I offer guidance and expertise, and together we track your progress over time.

Great virtual session

wasn’t what i am looking for. reinforced my fears of reaching out for help which is having someone just prescribing something without getting the full picture of a person or their behaviors. just unfortunate that wasted time and money.
